Many abortion providers cannot escape the fact that abortion is the taking of a life—the killing of a baby. “I have the utmost respect for life; I appreciate that life starts early in the womb, but also believe that I’m ending it for good reasons.…So yes, I end life, but even when it’s hard, it’s for a good reason.” - Cheryl Alkon, “Confessions of an Abortion Doctor,” Boston Magazine

"Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous--how well I know it." Psalm 139:14    

To the end Polycarp...disdained to defend himself before the mob. He was threatened with the wild beasts and then with the fire, but he did not flinch.

We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be. (C. S. Lewis)
